what singh and stelling actually said has no real significance on this season and never had. with a team loaded with players who have not played at this level plus an experianced manager who also has no league 2 experiance anything could happen. it still could even though it may seem unlikely at the present moment. still think pools could finish anywhere between the play offs and relegation and nothing will be a big shock.

Unless most of the northern league div 1 have also.

pools have never been a big club even in the league they are now in. no sleeping giant here but a team who has only had a handful of promotions in my lifetime and never really kicked on staying very long in the league above. new managers and players just say what they think fans want to hear just to rally the troups. spenny and others at their level are a much easier club to run as any real debts they have will be quite small compared to us and anyone with a good wedge in their pockets can do well there if they are not stupid.[/quote]

Any club in this league that can pull in 4500 to 5000 despite not winning for 17 games is a big club. The potential at this club is massive as proved last year with the smallest of success. The problem at pools is no one has ever really tapped into it. Singh almost did it and could of last year with the smallest amount of ambition. Instead he took the we have done it approach and now time to claw back the money.

It doesn't help when quite a lot of our fans are just happy to see a team on the pitch, standards are so low amongst our fan base, that it's just the norm for us to be rubbish as if it's totally acceptable.

Just because your not successful does not mean you are not a big club or have the potential. Ior were more than good enough, but it doesn't change the fact they sold us down the river twice to con merchants and wanted out for the last few years. Don't call me pathetic pal after some of the rumours on here about you and charities. So get your own little pathetic house in order. Like I said come back and talk when we win some games, not many people are fooled by what's going on at the club anymore and you trying to shout people down doesn't wash with me.

I know a hell of a lot more than you. Your the idiot waxing lyrical about getting a manager from cove rangers and some lads from the dog and duck league. If we haven't been proved by the cheap options yet we whoever will.

6th biggest crowds in the league last year. Pulling in 4500 to 5000 this year despite being rubbish, a club capable of selling 5000 in hours for palace, a club capable of selling out 10000 for Sunderland a club capable of taking 4000 to our last proper derby this all on minimal success, clubs in the championship can't muster that sort of support on scraps of success. Potential is there it's held back by losers like you happy to be plodding along in the conference.

Bang on that assessment Billy :clap:
Had Sing tapped into that potential 14 months ago he would have made more than the cup runs cash by sustaining 5400 crowds. Thats gone now.
We certainly talk more sense than the Muppet Show
Were Ambition in there private universe dosent exist.
They go on like we want us to win the champuons league.
Not a play off place in division 4.

Amazing how the Accringtons and Morcambe can do it yet you seem to find it unimaginable for us to have any success. It's embarrassing that we have fans that cannot see the potential this club has. Mind you the club is doing a good job at banning the fan base that brought part of that buzz back. Funny you never mention the most expensive season tickets in the league but still think it's ok that we bring in cheap dross from Scotland and hope among hope we somehow stay up. Wonder how the redevelopment is going?

Bigger crowds bring money in you really are dense. Oh so raj isn't a millionaire now? How do you explain Morcambe? Pools are way bigger than these clubs they have success yet we are run like a national North club.

You two are taking abuse of each other to another level and it is really getting us nowhere, so I suggest you both take a step back or sort out your differences somewhere else.

About 84 85 season

I started every week in 69, before that intermittently because the old man went with his mates from the Market Hotel and me and our kid were banned. In all that time, it was more or less a desert, a lifeboat, survival, but oddly enough to us we accepted it was like that. There was spells but nothing of any consequence and the Darlo matches were the highlight of the year…I eventually hated them as a distraction from what we should have been concentrating on, but with no social media and two edited letters in the footy Mail, we had no voice.
Fanzines were an eye opener, loved them, but eventually the internet strangled them and now we have everyone with a viewpoint.
I want success, but compared to what we had I can be patient. That however doesn’t mean my patience is elastic. I don’t think Raj has done anything wrong, he took a chance so give it time, my limits the end of October, then the bell will toll.

You may be right but that's no reason to join in. You and I don't see eye to eye on many things Pools but we don't abuse one another.
I have said it before and I'll say it again the floor of this forum is not going to be used as a battleground to perpetrate personal agendas.

My first match was Lincoln in the cup we won 3 nil. Hooked ever since. Though that result was a bit misleading to what was to come.

There was spells but nothing of any consequence and the Darlo matches were the highlight of the year…I eventually hated them as a distraction from what we should have been concentrating on, but with no social media and two edited letters in the footy Mail, we had no voice.
Fanzines were an eye opener, loved them, but eventually the internet strangled them and now we have everyone with a viewpoint.
I want success, but compared to what we had I can be patient. That however doesn’t mean my patience is elastic. I don’t think Raj has done anything wrong, he took a chance so give it time, my limits the end of October, then the bell will toll.



My first match was Lincoln in the cup we won 3 nil. Hooked ever since. Though that result was a bit misleading to what was to come.

First away match Boston FA Cup got beat December 1971, got arrested along with everyone else on the coach including the driver, held for two hours and sent on our way into a cold December night with mist forming on the fens and only the windscreen left on the coach… we still don’t know what for…….a cold experience…. :shock:
Mind you they were a bit stoneage the Boston supporters, Darwin would have had a field day, everyone had six fingers and no ears.

I was on that coach, the reason the windows got put through, If memory serves me correctly was a Boston lad came round to where our coach was parked up saying the Boston lads were at the ground waiting for us.
He obviously got chased, and we talked the driver into going back to the ground.
That’s when we were ambushed, bricks from all directions, obviously expecting us to scatter they got a shock when got off the coach and scattered them, Chasing them through everyone’s back gardens.
Happy days.
PS: no sign of plod anywhere to be seen.

Come to think of it at that time on that coach we seemed to end up in skirmishes.
Do you remember the Leeds fans in Harrogate, tosses.

I remember how bloody cold it was in the ground….. the return trip through Darlington town centre (no A19 then) at 10 pm when all the seat cushions were thrown out. Funny thing is I saw a coach in Billingham from Escort Coaches…. The very coach company we used :laugh:

Why don’t you take over pools Kev, you’ve got all the answers. I’d pay good money to watch that happen, even keener still to watch the Mockumentary they make on Netflix.

You must have missed that post, he got the the Disney contract before the Wrexham millionaires but when they saw Lee’s late season sleep walking they declined the offer as they didn’t do horror stories. :laugh:

The potential to be ‘tapped into’, is always there regardless, it’s been there since the day the club was founded, it never goes away.

Amazing how the Accringtons and Morcambe can do it yet you seem to find it unimaginable for us to have any success.
easy and quick answer to that one. its called better player recruitment and then the ability to sell a player on for real money on a regular basis. possibly having less suits around draining the club of money helps as well. its not as if either club splashes the cash on players either and the types of signings they make are in pools budget.

Compliments on here are a 2 way thing as u well know.
It aint 1 way traffic.
You don't want to meet up so why dont we stop quoteing each others posts before we both get bunker bans which would piss u off a lot more than me.
Hope that shits put to bed now.
No more quotes.
End of chat from my side.
Hopefully we stay up n go onto better things.

Raj Singh is also a multi millionaire. While he may or may not have as much money as Andy Holt, he still had enough to put in around 2 million into the club in his first few years here (happy to be corrected but this is what I can remember off the top of my head).
An interesting quote from yourself there saying the Accrington owner 'knows what hes doing'. Are you saying Raj doesnt?

I do disagree with the fact we're a big club but we aren't a tiny club either as some would have you believe. Realistically if we'd capitalised on our good attendances last year and pushed to retain the floating fans we had gained we would be able to bring in more money and increase our budgets year on year going forward, hopefully bringing further success to the club.

In many ways, last season was a dog’s dinner. Challinor’s departure, whatever some may say was going to happen regardless when he saw the carrot dangled and offers this end would have made no difference whatsoever.
It caused disruption and Lee’s appointment was a disappointing move in my opinion, I just couldn’t work that one out and it ended in a complete collapse of the team.
The sweetener last season were the cup runs, after a Rotherham it collapsed spectularly into lethargy.

pesh.."Raj Singh is also a multi millionaire.While he may or may not have as much money as Andy Holt"

..understatement of the century..raj owns a few local care homes for the elderly and has a tiny local construction firm..andy holt owns a multi national plastics business with an annual 55 million turnover..there is no comparison to be made..but both are rich men?..ffs :roll:

If you think a man who drives a Bentley, owns a football club and has a spare few million to put into it isn’t a rich then I don’t know what to say.

There might not be comparison between them but he’s still a multi millionaire. I also think you are underselling the man and I’m sure if you described him as that to his face then you’d be told where to go

You’re right but I think the club could’ve maybe done a bit more over the summer to get that positivity back.
